Well folks, it was a beautifully sunny, muddy, rutted, tight, twisty, pinstripe-and-mild-carnage-filled day. Once again, a fantastic time with the crew, and I was pleased to meet and run with Young in his quite-capable Ruby, Cassidy and Marlene in the TRD SE, and Chris and Brandon in the Ti. Ya'll are Good People(tm).
We had ten rigs consisting of three Jeeps and seven FJs, and ended up splitting into two groups of 6 and 4. These are pics from the "Sac-Up Group", consisting of 5 FJs and 1 Jeep. We did a quick warmup on Powerline South, then ran Sac-Up, ate some lunch and took a look at the 3-Step obstacle on Lower Powerline, then ran Lake Isabel up as far as we could (stopped at a second washout). Special thanks to my friend Shelby who sat co-pilot with me on this run, we got a decent batch of pictures.
The fender-buster was much more rutted than previously, and the trail in general was a nastier again than last time.
Doh! Custom trail mod. I did not heed Cassidy's warning and went left on an obstacle when I should've stuck right. I didn't remember having trouble here before on the last two Sac-Up runs, come to find out it's because we took a different route this time! :|
Great pictures. It looks like you guys had a good time on the trails you ran.
I'll try and get some pics up today after I wash my rig. I'm afraid I didn't get a ton as I was too busy driving and my co-pilot was too busy grinding her teeth in certain spots. I know my wife took some and I haven't even looked at them yet so hopefully we got some good shots.

Marlene and I had a blast! Thanks to all that came out to enjoy the beautiful day and some challenging trails. I am going to pull the plug when it comes to me and spotting. I think three out of the four dents aquired happened when I was helping spot through tight areas(Sorry Folks)! Here a few pictures that Marlene and I took.
